Sapphire Tube FAQs

Q1. What is a Sapphire Tube?

A sapphire tube is a cylindrical component made from synthetic sapphire, known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. These tubes are used in various high-performance applications where durability and reliability are critical.

Q2. Can Sapphire Tubes be customized?

Yes, sapphire tubes can be customized to meet specific requirements, including different diameters, lengths, wall thicknesses, and surface finishes. Customization can also include features like flanges, holes, and specific optical coatings.

Q3. What is the difference between Sapphire Tube and Quartz Tube?

Strength and Hardness: Sapphire is harder and stronger than quartz.

Chemical Resistance: Sapphire offers better resistance to a wider range of chemicals.

Thermal Performance: Both materials have excellent thermal properties, but sapphire can withstand higher temperatures and thermal shock better.

Optical Properties: Sapphire provides better optical clarity and lower light scattering across a broader wavelength range.
